VOTE NOW: Poster of the Year GRAND FINALE 2015

[SoiBiker]

Interesting attempt to claim the moral high ground. Thai visa as a kind of batsignal for Nancy the superhero. That's a mighty high horse you're riding.

This poll is meant to be a bit of fun. A concept you've clearly struggled with from the start.

I'm going to put a cape on Mr. Bitey.

I can have fun. That's the beauty of Thai Visa, there are something like 8000 subforums, so you there's something for everyone, at any time of day. To trash it out with a "Null Vote" is well, just .... plain..... wrong.

Edit: Didn't take me long. Super cat.jpg

That's just the point, though. It's a big forum, with different sides to it. Some of it is about useful advice, some of it is just about having a laugh and taking the piss.

You brought the two together by trying to leverage your apparent good deeds to win votes in what should just be a bit of fun, and now you're complaining that one is spilling over into the other.

You made that happen. You only have yourself to blame.

I own a pretty cool car too. I just don't bang on about it because it's just my car, not a replacement for having a personality.

Almost wish I was running this year now. Baht buses RULE!

I never really got the big V8 thing anyway. Getting so little power out of such a big engine whilst burning that much fuel is just poor engineering in my book.

[NancyL]

Very few people outside the U.S. would think of the car first, for sure.

Yeah, the word "TransAm" as in "Transit America" i.e. from the Smokey and the Bandit movies is just so 1970s. And remember, Hubby and I owned a 1976 Screaming Eagle Black Trans Am, with a 6.6 Liter Engine, but we matured.

I do think that now, when most people hear the word "Trans" applied to a person, they think of the gender connotation.

Trying to grab some cool credits for owning a TransAm. That's hilarious considering you graduated to a Prius, You can't have it both ways.

Someone is clearly paying attention. Just shows that some people mature in life and others don't. Hubby and I and went from owning a 1976 Trans Am to (oh dear, you really don't want the entire list) to that Prius when we decided to retire to Thailand and totally go green. No need to own a vehicle in Chiang Mai, so yes, we've had it both ways in our lives. We've seen the light and matured. Can others claim that?

This sums up this whole stupid cliquey nonsense. Nobody cares.

I'd bet that the contenders have even voted for themselves multiple times.

Person With No Life of the Year could be an alternative thread title.

Why not express your distaste by voting null vote?

No rights reserved. Weak tea -- don't do it.

This thread is like Groundhog Day, every 30 minutes.

Whatever happened to the earlier business of Charlie saying he'd split the null votes amongst all the posters and doing away with that nonsense?

[villagefarang]

Trans made a smart move by posting fewer videos and Nancy has shot herself in the foot with her dishonesty, nasty putdowns and over zealous pandering. My money is on Trans at this point as long as he doesn’t lose his cool.

Trans not losing his cool? That's one to watch.

[Crazy chef 1]

I'm still a null vote and still deciding.

Maybe if the Crazy Chef posted some yummy food images, I could be persuaded?

Here we go...

[villagefarang]

It is clear only two people on here are willing to do what it takes to win this thing. I am not sure anyone can spin that as a good thing, it just is what it is. After the winner is proclaimed I would be interested to hear their thoughts on whether they think it was worth the price they paid personally. I know I have lost a lot of respect for two of the posters.

Null vote has no thoughts.

We should learn to be more like null vote.

Look at JT for the damage that winning Poster Of The Year can do. The fairest thing to do is vote Null, but euthanasia is a possible alternative. Bumlooker26 took it stoically

Good grief, you are a constant voice of doom and gloom, always complaining about some unnamed person or incident or perceived slight and putting unnamed people down with snide insults.

It's really boring.

[Chonburiram]

Do people really know you? I don't feel that I do and I read the forums a little bit . Seriously, I still don't a robust and clear impression of what you're about as a very possible POTY.

You know, the DEEP stuff. Your CORE VALUES. What makes transam tick. Without the video flash. Go deeper. The voters deserve it.

It's entirely normal that FRONT RUNNERS come under more intense SCRUTINY.

Asks the resident troll...

[canuckamuck]

Well I'm out for tonight. I would like to thank all the contestants for a wonderful day of unravelled facades. I look forward to seeing what the graveyard shift gets up to tonight.

Two more days

[NancyL]

TransAm already lost his cool on post #852 "Hmmmmmmm, most of my posts here have been REPLYING to POTY feeeerkin ADMIN.........YOU.........Why don't you just bugger off somewhere, STOP protecting YOUR chum and let voters do their stuff...?

Trans has NOT slagged any contestant off....FACT...."

This comment was directed at our extreme high Poll Lord Jingthing. Nice to know TransAm can be polite to those who have volunteered to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Hope TransAm is willing to volunteer the same next year and puts in as many hours, with as much wit and grace.

If not, then he should just lay-off JT and let him make up his own rules.

[StreetCowboy]

Personally I like to hear from the contenders who made the first 40 nominations or from those who made it into the second round, what they thing of the current crop of contenders.

I'm still the Null Vote, still deciding.

For the sake of the contenders, vote Null.

Let them all cry out

With one great shout

No-one is more popular!

I think you mean hole.

[Sawan Chan 7]

Well the real posters are coming out. I voted for nancy but must admit I don't know who she is. After seeing her lies and true natureI deleted my vote and voted vilagefarang. I recommend all others delete votes for the two sad posters and revote.

[LannaGuy]

my take:

NancyL sounds like a 'Good person' and devotes her life to 'saving others' - this is GOOD but i dislike the 'self-promotion' on the Chiang Mai thread

JingThingy is a 'Dame' and tried to be consistently funny but fails on occasion and has 'unusual bias' "Drama Queen" comes to mind

Transam seems solid but quirky and too hooked up with his car

Soibiker seem ok guy but should have dropped out of this mess earlier

Thaivisa should have taken a GRIP earlier and made it a one vote NO CAMPAIGNING fun contest a Millennium ago in the 'general' section
